The Sixties Down Under: Discover Australia’s Era of Extraordinary Change

Step back into the Australian decade they call “The Swingin’ Sixties”. From the comfortable certainties of 1960 to the moon landing that ended the decade, Photos and Memories 1960s captures the extraordinary transformation of a nation in a time of great change.
As Beatlemania swept through our cities and decimal currency replaced pounds,
shillings and pence, we witnessed the 1967 referendum that overwhelmingly
voted for Aboriginal rights. Relive the controversy of Vietnam, the disappearance of Prime Minister Harold Holt, and the cultural revolution that saw young Australians questioning everything their parents had accepted.
Beyond the major events, discover what daily life was really like - from typing
pools and record shops to marching girls and Earl’s Court adventures. Through personal memories and year-by-year chronicles, this book brings the sights, sounds, and spirit of 1960s Australia vividly to life. 
Whether you were born in the swinging sixties, went to school or simply
want to understand the decade that shaped modern Australia, this nostalgic
journey will inform, entertain, and transport you back to one of the most
exciting eras in our nation’s history.
